Technical Sessions-Big Data

Machine Learning in the age of Big Data

CONFERENCE ROOM

24th November, 17:20-17:50

Since the problem of storing and processing large amount of data was roughly solved, mainly after the raise and maturity of the Hadoop ecosystem, it’s really important what we are trying to do with Big Data. Machine Learning, even if it’s not something new, gain tremendous importance in the context of big data and we can see more and more practical applications starting with the recommendation systems from Amazon/Netflix and ending with self-driving cars from Google/Tesla. The presentation “Machine Learning in the age of Big Data” will provide an overview on Machine Learning and Big Data and also some practical examples including a live demo with an online machine learning algorithm that we are currently developing at SDL Research.
